An interesting question Trini, my thoughts would be. It still continues and perhaps one of the new recruits, with an in depth knowledge of semiconductors, takes his place. IMO GT leaving suggests he and the T-RAB are happy with where they are at. Perhaps the reason it was set up was to fulfill the needs of a special certain company, in the short term. Maybe those short term goals have been met and longer term goals will continue, unabated. If poet can do without Dr T then I'd imagine, so can the TRAB.
